beyonce-smash into you

-
just thinking lately..when's the last time i liked someone genuinely? no matter his flaws, no matter whether he liked me back or not, and not of lust nor appearance, but just for who he was. when people get together, do they like eachother really for who they are?
i don't think many relationships are founded on such bases.. and people wonder why there's such much heartbreak involved with "love." nay, it's not love if it hurts. true love is..real. it's Corinthians love.

i've always gone through life looking forward to a bright future. in high school, it was getting into a good college. in college, it's getting into med school. in the future, if i actually make it as a doctor, will i be satisfied though?
when are people ever satisfied? it's when they find that which makes the world go round. there's something people can always look forward to in life. it's the hope of love.
i've begun to have more faith in the existence of soulmates. i've faith that God has made someone for each of us, to make us whole. and right now, i'm just looking forward to the day when i find him. cause each day after that will just be a dream, no? :) somehow i can understand the saying, "if you haven't loved, you haven't lived."

funny, listening to beyonce's "smash into you"..it describes a love that's true and real, totally capturing. the kind God loves us with. though secular, there's something divine about this song. just reminds me how God is the author of love. we're able to love...because He first loved us.

Joyful Invitation

As, when the Jews from all parts of the country went up thrice a year to worship at Jerusalem, they called on their friends in the road and excited them to go along with them, so shall many of the Gentiles court their relations, friends, and neighbours, to join with them in embracing the Christian religion (v. 3):  "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the  Lord;  though it be uphill and against the heart, yet it is the mountain of the Lord,  who will assist the assent of our souls towards him.’’  If only we would as easily invite all our friends, neighbors, family, and co-workers to know the Lord , as we would invite them to parties or to hang out..

The Good Eye

Coming from an unsaved home, the messages I first received from Christianity were that there was a Person who loved me. I was mind-blown that there was a Creator who knew and loved me extravagantly. I didn’t understand the religiosity of things or even how people could be sick of church. But over a decade, the Person I first fell in love with began to fade into the background of my memory, and the clamor of my own insecurities and comparisons with others began to take over – in regard to how well-versed I was with the Bible, how well I could pray, how much I was doing for God in missions and evangelism, whether I could prophesy accurately, whether people were healed when I prayed for them, and the list goes on.  The passage that struck me recently regarding this matter was Matthew 6:22-23: “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good , your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad , your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light ...

The Worth of Hiddenness

For much of my 20’s, I aspired to a certain idea and vision of greatness. I received prophecies about my greatness and how the Lord wanted to use me to “impact nations.” I heard these kinds of words over and over, and these words were great to hear – but naturally, after many years of not making much impact, I felt like I had failed God to some measure (I believe my experience is not uncommon). I felt I needed to figure out how to achieve “big impact” in order to truly fulfill my calling and destiny in life.   The Great Commission says in Matthew 28:19-20:  "Go therefore and  make disciples of all the nations , baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit...”  When read plainly, the Great Commission does put forth this command of impacting nations. The problem is that we have interpreted the Great Commission in a way that makes it unachievable to 99% of Christians who do not have large platforms or access to thousands ...
